IMPROVEMENT IN LOOM-TEMPLES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 178,259, dated June 6, 1876; application filed April 24, 1876. v

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JABEZ R. ARNOLD, of Salem, of the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have made a new and useful withmy invention.

In carrying out my said invention I combinewith the breast-beam, the temple,- and the sustaining-spring or elastic arm of the latter,

a stop to arrest the forward movement of the temple and its spring, which stop I apply to the breast-beam, so as to be capable of being adjusted, to bring the abutment of the stop to different distances from said beam, in order to effect the proper arrangement or adjustment of the temple relatively to the beat of the lay.

In the drawings, A denotes the breast-beam; B, the temple, and O the elastic arm or spring, fastened to the temple and breast-beam, all being as shown. The spring at its free end projects beyond the temple a short distance, as shown at a and rests against the inner side of the abutment b of a right-angular stop, D. Upon the shank of the said stop is a male screw, 0. This shank goes through the breastbeam, and there is screwed on the shank and against washers d d two nuts, 6 f, all being arranged as represented.

Heretofore, so far as I have been able to learn, a temple, when supported by an elastic am aware that roller-temples having shanks to slide in boxes or cases have been provided with means of arresting the forward motion of the shanks, due to the recoil of their springs; therefore I do not claim such. With these, however, there were no means of adjusting the stop or stops to vary the advance of the temple.

What I claim as my invention is as follows that is to say:

The stop D and its adjusting-screw c. and nuts cf, arranged with the breast-beam A, as shown, in combination with the temple B and its elastic supporting-arm 0, arranged with the said temple, and fastened to the breastbeam, all being substantially as set forth.
